Summary/Abstract: In the connection with the regions development, the road infrastructure is considered as a factor which affects the economic and social development characteristics of the regions. It is possible to reduce regional disparities gradually by enhancing and improving quality of the road infrastructure and this way to contribute to entrepreneurial environment improvement. In the paper, we are dealing with the road infrastructure and its effect on the selected indicators of the entrepreneurial environment such as: GDP and the number of economic subjects (enterprises) in the Czech Republic. For the need of analysis, we use data on all three researched factors from the time series 2010 - 2014. The aim of this paper is to analyse the development of the road infrastructure, GDP and economic subjects of the regions in the Czech Republic and to quantify the dependency power between the road infrastructure, GDP and the economic subjects. For the purpose of the research, we have chosen administrative approach to structure regions according to NUTS III classification. The strong correlation between the road infrastructure and GDP has not been confirmed in all observed regions as well as the effect of the road infrastructure and the number of economic subjects. We used methods of time series analysis, variation coefficient, correlation coefficient, comparison and synthesis.
